Abstract Recommender systems are rapidly transforming the digital world into
intelligent information hubs. The valuable context information associated with the users’
prior transactions has played a vital role in determining the user preferences for items or
rating prediction. It has been a hot research topic in collaborative filtering-based
recommender systems for the last two decades. This paper presents a novel Context

method. The proposed algorithm computes a context score for each candidate user to
construct a similarity pool for the given subject user-item pair and intuitively choose the
